Which is literally 5x as many points worth...

Always very amusing when some 15k chases you down and during the chase loses 20x as many points as killing you would give.

Same reason why max level players in WoW hunt down enemy players in newbie zones. Everybody gets some twisted kick out of killing a player character that can't possibly fight back.

When you call them out on it, they will go "PVP LOL!" "RED=DED!" and other crap while ignoring the fact that they do it because they don't have the stones to take on someone who can actually fight back.

They're dumb. Anyone below 4k (worth 2k) points isnt worth hunting (You'd literally waste your points, unless you manage a very fast kill you run a net loss + lost HP which puts you at a risk) and even then they're pretty much chanceless to you.

The mega food in the middle gives 3k points.

I don't know anything about the game(s) in question, but the mentality is always the same, it's some kind of sadistic pleasure out of killing player-controlled entities which are powerless to fight back. It's an ego-trip and a power-trip all mixed into one with a dash of causing someone else frustration all in the same package. It really really shows who is a jerk and who is not.

And YES. I AM going that far. Everybody who does these kinds of things in these kinds of games are jerks. There's no excuse for that kind of behavior whatsoever; it usually points to serious problems in that person's personality deep at the core level.

Have you heard of Seal Clubbing? It's one name for that sort of thing, at least in some places.

Yes, but why? Might be the thrill of the hunt, but i dont find hunts where the prey is totally helpless very fun.

People do it just because they like the feeling of killing, not for the sport, just that they do.

@Granger : You don't understand, because you have some measure of self-esteem, standards, and morals. These people who do this have no standards, and very low or non-existent self-esteem. They're broken people, who stoop as low as to bully things that can't fight back. In fact, it's the same thing that's behind the big kids bullying the small kids at school.

Or they could just be doing it for :red:s and giggles.

@DoctorMcDerp : People don't endlessly kill things that can't fight back for "S&G" for hours and hours. No, they do it to fill the void in themselves because they have no self-esteem (or at least very little of it). They like the power trip, plain and simple. They're bullies.
